In Shih & Hsu, a planarity test was introduced utilizing a data structure called PC-trees, generalized from PQ-trees. They illustrated that a PC-tree is more natural IN representing planar graphs. Their algorithm starts by constructing a depth-first-search tree and adds all back edges to a vertex one by one. A major feature in the S&H algorithm is that, at each iteration, at most two terminal n...

BACKGROUND Despite provision of free childhood vaccinations, less than half of all Ugandan infants are fully vaccinated. This study compares women with some secondary schooling to those with only primary schooling with regard to their infants' vaccination status. METHODS A community-based prospective cohort study conducted between January 2006 and May 2008 in which 696 pregnant women were fol...

[Co(II)(dpt)(NCS)2], where dpt = bis(3-aminopropyl)amine, was identified as a pentacoordinate Co(II) compound showing field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization. Furthermore, intermolecular ferromagnetic coupling mediated by Coπ non-covalent contacts, where π orbitals originate from the thiocyanato ligand, is reported for the first time.

M-DPT, a BODIPY-based water soluble near-infrared fluorescent probe with thiophene at the 1,7-position, is synthesized. M-DPT is found to possess high specificity to mitochondria, superior photostability, and appreciable tolerance to microenvironmental changes. Thus, this probe is a highly suitable imaging agent for targeting mitochondria and tracking morphology changes.

Fibronectin (Fn) is an approximately 450 kDa glycoprotein that consists of 12 type I, 2 II, and 15–17 III modules. Fibrillation Fn important for tissue reconstitution wound healing. We previously reported Clostridium perfringens produces several Fn-binding proteins (Fbps), two which, FbpA FbpB, bind to III1-C (a fragment derived from the carboxyl-terminal two-thirds first-type module). Dermatop...

Dissipation is often considered as a detrimental effect in quantum systems for unitary operations. However, it has been shown that suitable dissipation can be useful resources both information and simulation. Here, we propose experimentally simulate dissipative phase transition (DPT) model using single trapped ion with an engineered reservoir. We show the ion's spatial oscillation mode reaches ...

Merced River Hatchery (MRH) juvenile Chinook salmon, from tagged lots used in the 2005 Vernalis Adaptive Management Program (VAMP) study, were brought to the California-Nevada Fish Health Center wet lab 6 days prior to the first VAMP release and reared for 50 days at water temperatures similar to the San Joaquin River. At the time of transport, a fish health inspection showed that the populatio...

PURPOSE To investigate how mitomycin C (MMC) modulates corneal fibroblast migration and its molecular mechanisms in the wound healing process. METHODS After treatment with 0 and 0.2 mg · mL(-1) MMC for 5 minutes, effect of MMC on cell migration of human corneal fibroblasts (HCFs) was examined with a cell migration assay. Both focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin (PXN) expressions in HCFs ...
